'Paper'- thin, but I like it.

Ok, so quick review on my so far most used drawing app- Paper by 53.

First, the cons.
No zoom, no tool control, no layers, limited pallete, and the extra drawing utensils are WAY overpriced. Also took me forever to realize how to use the undo/redo function. Which isn't a button like most apps, but designed to where you have to put two fingers on the screen and draw a counter clockwise circle to undo, clockwise to redo.

Now the pros
Light weight, I like it for capturing quick messy impressions of things. When I don't want to be bogged down by menus, or not wanting to produce something polished, this is the app I use.
I really really love how you can create journals in the app, with as many pages as you like, and customizing the fronts of the journals. I often entertain myself just by flipping through the pages quickly.
Because of it's simplistic nature, it's great for someone who is just starting to get into digital art. Also because of it's simplicity, I've drawn more in it than in my deeper art apps.
The app itself runs quickly and smoothly, again great for capturing quick impressions of things.
As far as the tools go- I do really wish there were a resize function, but sadly there is not. I like the paintbrush tool, which has dynamics similar to a watercolor brush in Painter.

Conclusion
If you're looking for an app to produced polished works, this is probably not the one for you.
But if you're looking for a quick sketch, doodle, or visual journal app you'll enjoy Paper by 53.

If you're looking for a more indepth art app, though, I would recommend Procreate for painting, and Sketchbook pro for drawing. I will do reviews on them soon.

Also coming soon, I geek out about my brand new ipad, and all of the great use I'm getting out of it, as well as the adventure that led me to get it.

But for now,
GEEK, OUT!
